Watts Gallery
The setting is breathtaking – in the heart of rural Surrey – but within the gallery’s walls there are dazzling rooms full of beautiful art. Established in 1904 to display the work of the Victorian artist George Frederic Watts, the gallery has been lovingly restored and continues to be an inspiring art space. Next to the gallery is the extraordinary chapel designed by GF Watts's wife Mary Watts, a fusion of Arts and Crafts, Gothic and Celtic styles.
You can also see the work of contemporary creative talents during the Arts Village open studios sessions. The current exhibition ‘Ellen Terry: The Painters’ Actress’ runs until November 9.
